About Us

This is a pic of me with my family. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife (Jennifer) and 3 wonderful girls. We reside 8-9 months of the year in beautiful Hot Springs, SD and the remainder of the year in Port Isabel, TX.

Knife shops

Here is a pic of the new Hot Springs knife shop. This is truly a dream shop with wonderfull lighting and a great dust control system. I also have a smaller, yet functional knife shop in Port Isabel so I am able to enjoy this wonderful hobby at either location.

How I got Started

We have the wonderful fortune of living across the street from our good friends, Rusty and Sally Preston, in Port Isabel, TX. I spent a few years watching Rusty make knives, One day I mentioned, "I would like to build a knife someday". Rusty immediately offered to allow me to build one under his supervision in his shop. I spent the better part of a week building my first folder and I have been hooked ever since! Take some time to look at some of Rusty's amazing work on his website you will find in links.
